For someone openmaw who has done nothing but talk this film down and speak negatively of it for months. You sure put a lot of effort into it , I'll give you that, are you sure you're not secretly excited for this film? Sure seems that way considering how much time you spend talking about it ! 
I've stated on numerous occasions things that I like. I'm not being
negative. I'm being realistic. I am the "consider this" man, curbing enthusiasm in all the threads.
For some it may be irritating, but consider what we've seen seen since 2007. People getting jacked up with hype and then having their legs kicked out from under them. There are a lot, lot lot lot of pitfalls in this production.
There are quite a few things that I like. Many of the actors (Olmos and Jane in particular.) I like that Shane Black is involved in general because at least someone form the old guard is there. I like the design of the Captured Predator. I think that they've done a good job on the Upgrade's design.
Am I excited, though? Look, i've loved these characters since I was 8 years old.
Back in the 90s I remember watching PREDATOR on TV for the first time, while I sat with my 12 inch Alien and Predator dolls. My very first email address on the internet was "thealienfan@hotmail.com" My first forum signature on any forum I ever visited was one of several Predator quotes.
I used to cut up cardboard and use duct tape to make Predator gauntlets and a mask and a smart disc.
So, yeah. I have a lot to say on the matter, and I want them to kindly please not f*ck it up, and have faith in the classic original creature, and the near perfect tone of that movie. The one that everyone loves.
